The rise of artificial intelligence has sparked debate among experts and researchers, but a recent study conducted by Edith Cowan University (ECU) sheds light on the potential benefits of using social robots in commercial settings. The research, led by Marketing and Service Science Professor Sanjit Roy, delves into the relationships between customer equity drivers, trust
Researchers at the University of Calgary have made a significant discovery regarding the link between radon exposure in rural homes and their proximity to drilled groundwater wells. This transdisciplinary team, consisting of experts from the faculties of medicine, science, and architecture, delved into the issue of elevated radon levels in rural communities compared to urban
Microfluidics technology has opened up new possibilities for precision chemistry by allowing researchers to work with significantly smaller amounts of chemicals. This technology involves etching thin channels and chambers into a compact chip, enabling chemistry to be performed with microliter amounts of liquid. The portability and efficiency of microfluidic devices have the potential to revolutionize
Earthquake effects are not only limited to human impact, such as fatalities and infrastructure damage, but they also have a significant environmental toll. Recent research published in Nature Geoscience indicates that forest recovery after earthquakes may take decades to fully restore. The study reveals that after the 1950 Zayu-Medog earthquake in Tibet, it took 45
Filmmaker Tyler Perry recently made a significant decision to put a stop to his planned $800 million expansion at his 330-acre studio in Atlanta. The reason behind this surprising move was his concern about the rapid advancements in video-related artificial intelligence technology. Perry expressed his worries over the potential impact of AI on traditional film-making,
A recent study conducted by researchers from the US and Germany revealed that even small doses of LSD could have significant therapeutic benefits for mental health and task performance. The study involved giving 21 adults either a placebo or 13 or 26 micrograms of LSD, doses that are typically too small to induce hallucinatory effects.
The outer planets of the Solar System, Uranus and Neptune, have recently been found to hold secret satellites, adding to their already impressive moon counts. With the help of ground-based telescopes, astronomers have uncovered three previously unknown moons in the vicinity of these two ice giant planets. This discovery brings the total number of moons
The recent return of an interesting package from space has sparked discussions about the future of the pharmaceutical industry. The capsule from the W-1 mission, developed by California-based Varda Space Industries, landed at the Utah Test and Training Range with a payload of antiviral drugs grown in the microgravity environment of Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
Paul Edmonds, a Californian man, was faced with the unimaginable – battling both cancer and HIV. However, thanks to a groundbreaking treatment five years ago, he is now free from both illnesses. Edmonds underwent a stem cell transplant, also known as an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, as a final treatment for his acute myelogenous leukemia
The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine recently conducted a study focusing on the use of ultrasound to treat pain in the brain. By directing tightly focused beams of ultrasound at the insula, a region of the brain known to handle the sensation of pain, researchers were able to reduce the perception of pain and
The realm of artificial intelligence and robotics has witnessed a monumental shift in recent years, with the advent of deep learning algorithms and generative models. These technological advancements have paved the way for the creation of captivating AI-generated art. While most AI-generated content is typically produced by algorithms and computational models, a groundbreaking study conducted
As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, the landscape of telecommunication in the United States has undergone a significant transformation. The once-ubiquitous landline telephone, a staple in households for generations, is now facing extinction in the digital age. With the rise of smartphones and wireless communication, landlines have become relics of a bygone
The quest for extraterrestrial life within our own Solar System has hit a roadblock with recent research indicating that Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may be devoid of any life forms. This revelation has dampened the hopes of scientists, including astrobiologist Catherine Neish from the University of Western Ontario, who have been eagerly exploring the icy
Exploring the mysterious forces of the universe has been a challenge for scientists for many years. The concept of quantum gravity, in particular, has remained an enigma. Despite the efforts of renowned physicists like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, understanding how gravity operates on a microscopic scale has proven to be elusive. However, recent developments
